The Rose Red Fairy House ~ Julie McLaughlin

"For your consideration, I offer my latest OOAK (One of a Kind) fairy house straight from a FAIRYTALE FANTASY! It is 1:24 scale. The exterior has TUDOR style architecture with a hand-mortared STONE CHIMNEY. The WOOD shingled ROOF and stuccoed walls are painted/stained for an aged look. Gorgeous realistic FLORALS, FERNS, VINES and BERRIES in tones of RED, envelop the structure. SLATE STEPPING STONES surround the home which sits on a TURN TABLE BASE for viewing all angles. Moss and faux fanciful red-spotted MUSHROOMS 'grow' from the landscape. Door and chimney are embellished with VINTAGE JEWELRY bits as hardware. Door and windows do not actually open."


"The interior boasts 4 tiny rooms, with faux stone and wood plank floors. The walls are trimmed with mossy twigs and windows have berry trim. A FABULOUS twig/vine SPIRAL STAIRCASE connects the two floors. The four rooms are completely furnished to scale with enchanting,dreamy pieces, fit for the most discriminating tiny fairy. Most furniture is made from faux wire wicker or wood which I have embellished to 'fairy-atize' it."

Jai Kumar

Jai Kumar is the first of four dolls I made for Susan Tay in Singapore, who is set on creating the most fabulous Maharajah's Palace based on the movie Kama Sutra.

This is how Susan described Jai Kumar...

"With the looks and body of a God, Jai is the palace chief artisan and carver and does all the stone works for the palace. He is the Michaelangelo of the Maharajah's Palace . He is also Maya's lover and everyone's dream man. Even Tara had a crush on him when she was a child with no worldly concerns like marrying into the 'right' family."

Jai Kumar was played by Ramon Tikaram in Kama Sutra

Raj Singh

Raj Singh is the second doll in the Maharajah's Palace series made for Susan Tay. This is how Susan describes Raj Singh:

A most handsome prince. He loves Maya but will only marry Tara. A philanderer and a hedonist, he spares no expense to acquire all things pleasing to his senses. The palace, their clothes, the furnishings will all be testaments to his expensive taste and his lavish lifestyle.

In the movie, Raj Singh is portrayed as an ill-tempered and cruel man, and I was really excited when I was told by friends that the doll has a cruel glint in his eyes!

Raj Singh was played by Naveen Andrews in Kama Sutra

Tara

Tara, the third doll in the Maharajah's Palace series made for Susan Tay. Her dress is inspired by the pink lehenga-choli worn by her namesake in Kama Sutra (see photo below). This is how Susan describes Tara:

Bride and future Maharani, ethereally beautiful but always thinking she is not quite as pretty as Maya nor as talented a dancer. God is fair, I guess, for all of Tara's insecurity, she is filthy rich as you will be able to see from the palace that I am planning for her.
